Well I won't say I told you so.

Oh I just did.

Um, buy an NTSC compatible T.V.?

Or you're gonna have to buy a converter.

As far as I can tell only one person said they knew what the game was. The rest I think where just having a bit of fun. I don't think for one minute anybody was insinuating you were being lazy.

Christ, don't get your knickers in a twist Randall.

To put you out of your misery it's called UniWar S by Irem.

(I think. Could be wrong.)

Naah don't worry mate. It's a bloody good avatar. Meant to say that in my earlier reply. I was gonna make an animated gif so the tale moved but I don't think I'll bother after seeing yours.

I think you are the only other person I know who has that. Still got mine although I lost the battery cover.

Arghh!! The name escapes me.... My Auntie used to have this electronic game where you controlled a caveman and had to steal eggs from a dinosaur from one side of the screen and get them to the other side.
